Nikon D750 with MB-D16 Battery Kit Deal Expiring Tonight

Happy holidays dear PL readers! While Spencer and I are still going through all the images we have taken in New Zealand and spending some time with our families, I wanted to mention a killer deal that will be expiring tonight. The full-frame Nikon D750 DSLR (see our detailed Nikon D750 review) camera kit with the 24-120mm f/4G VR lens (recently updated Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR review) is currently being promoted by Nikon with the free MB-D16 grip / multi-battery pack. On top of this, B&H has pitched in with an additional product to promote this deal even further – they are bundling a few different accessory options, such as a 4 TB external hard drive by Western Digital + 64 GB SanDisk SDXC memory card (my preferred option) or a Rode microphone to give an instant savings of $ 820. This deal is a real steal, especially considering how superb the D750 camera is, especially when coupled with the 24-120mm f/4G VR. Today is the last day when you can take advantage of this deal, since it will expire at 11:59 PM EST (December 24, 2016).

The Nikon D750 bundles come with a few different options. If you do not want to get the 24-120mm f/4G VR kit, you can get the body-only configuration and it will still come with the MB-D16 battery grip. Below are all the links that will take you to different configurations:

Keep in mind that all the other deal bundles with the Nikon D500 and the D810 will also be expiring. Our favorite deals are the Nikon D500 + MB-D17 + 200-500mm f/5.6E VR + 2x 32GB XQD cards for $ 3,246.95 ($ 550 off) and Nikon D810 + MB-D12 + 24-120mm f/4G VR + 32 GB SDHC Card + 4 TB WD External Drive for $ 3,196.95 ($ 920 off).

If you are wondering about the performance of the Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR, definitely check out our detailed review of this superb lens. Here is a sample image that I lightly processed in Lightroom, captured in New Zealand’s north island with the Nikon D810:

NIKON D810 + 24-120mm f/4 @ 24mm, ISO 64, 1/1, f/11.0

I did not have a lot of gear with me this time – just the D810 with a couple of lenses, along with the Fuji X-T2 (review coming soon!), so weight was not an issue. If I wanted to go lighter and wanted to do more travel photography than purely landscapes, I would have taken the D750 with me instead. The lens I used most of the time was the 24-120mm f/4G VR, although I did use the new 70-200mm f/2.8E VR quite a bit as well (review also coming soon).

Please note that B&H will reopen for web orders in a few hours (at 6 PM EST), so the order window is pretty short!

DJI Phantom 4 Pro vs Phantom 4: Low Light Video ISO Test from Michael Shainblum

Curious how the ISO performs on the new Phantom 4 Pro vs the original Phantom 4? Luckily for you, Michael Shainblum tested the two against each other to show how they look in near-dark situations.

I’m actually really impressed with how good the ISO performs on the new Phantom 4 Pro: it’s not just a little better, it’s a LOT better. The Phantom 4 just tends to lean towards greys instead of actual detail, while the Pro is actually keeping legit blacks while bringing up detail. That, and the Pro can perform well above where you would ever want to shoot on the original Phantom 4.

This image right here should illustrate the vast difference between the two cameras:

That’s really impressive. To see Michael’s full breakdown, head over to his blog.
